Come along to a fun and affordable community car boot sale at The Arts Village, Rotorua! Whether you’re looking for a bargain, hunting for hidden treasures, or simply enjoying a morning out, there will be something for everyone.

Browse a wide range of pre-loved items sold directly from the boots of local cars, including clothing, books, toys, plants, homewares, collectibles, and more. It’s a great chance to give unwanted items a new home, support local whānau, and enjoy the lively atmosphere of a community event.

Bring the kids, and spend the morning exploring the stalls. Every purchase helps keep good items out of landfill and encourages recycling and re-use within our community.
